AMES, Iowa -- Daniel S. Greenberg, editor and publisher of
Science & Government Report, will give the first of
three Presidential Lectures at Iowa State, 7:30 p.m., Monday,
Dec. 16. The lecture will focus on Iowa State and the
changing world of research and will be held in the Great Hall
of the Memorial Union.

Greenberg has investigated and reported on the relationship
between science and government for more than 30 years. He is
considered one of the leading authorities on federally funded
research and how changes in Washington, D.C., affect this
funding.

"We are pleased and honored to have Dan Greenberg come and
tell us what to expect in terms of federal funding and the
climate in Washington," said Iowa State University President
Martin Jischke. "Dan Greenberg is one of most respected
science and government watchers today. His insights will be
of great benefit as we navigate through the changing world of
government sponsored research."

Science & Government Report received the National Press
Foundation's Outstanding Journalism Award for Investigative
Reporting for Newsletters in 1988. Greenberg also writes a
column on science and health for the Washington Post and
other papers, and is a correspondent for the British journal
The Lancet. Greenberg's articles have appeared in the
New York Times Magazine, Smithsonian, Discover, U.S. News
& World Report, Le Monde and Nature.

He is the author of The Politics of Pure Science,
which detailed how the post-World War II federally funded
research establishment operated. He began Science &
Government Report in 1971, after being a reporter for
Science, the magazine of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, and for the Washington Post.
